Problem with Forum Admin & Sentinel 1.2.0

New Member Joined: Jul 14, 2004 Posts: 2

I'm running PHP-Nuke 7.3 and Sentinel 1.2.0.

Everything seems to be working fine except the following...

Forum Admin

When I click on Forum in the Admin Console I get the following on my screen...

*******************************************************

I have tried to find a solution in the Discussion Forums about this but so far it is a needle in a hay stack...

Almost as this was posting I found a solution and it works...
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

I added "PHP_FLAG output_buffering On" to a file .htaccess and upload to the same place mainfile.php is located.

This fixed it...

Thanks again....

This one is weird. I've checked his solution twice and everything is where it should be.

This is using the universal Sentinel 2.1.3 downloaded today from here.

Note: The 2.1.2 issue doesn't seem resolved in this version yet.

Also weird is that in the Sentinel isn't allowing the click of any of these options:
Admin Auth List
Scan for New Admins
Database Maintenance

I have no idea what is going on.

I have successfully added the
PHP_FLAG output_buffering On to the .htaccess and its working.

Everything in this setup is running out of public_html so I have no idea where things are going south.

Ideas?

7.5 Patched 2.8. Error occurs when going to Forum admin screen.

This POS has Autothemes, but I have them turned off for forums.

Thanks
Steph

NukeSentinel returned to the you must be a God admin to access those areas.

Line 46 is the line that pulls config.php into it's self.

I have the same problem, that happens when i try to access the forum admin page from the administration page.

I have nuke 7.5 patched, just got the sentinel 1.2.3(upgraded) and thats what i get:

Code:

Warning: main(config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/iccc/public_html/includes/sentinel.php on line 46





Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/iccc/public_html/includes/sentinel.php on line 46

Im the God Admin of the site and everything else seems to be working fine so far

Then we will have to look at the phpBB sections to see why it's not setting the $forum_admin variable to 1.

thanks, by the way, this was a fresh install with php nuke 7.5, then added the patch, then added sentinel 1.2.2 then upgraded to 1.2.3 the same thing happened with 1.2.2 i believe.

Just for curiosity, have you moved your config.php from nuke root?

Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 9:35 pm

nope, i havent moved any file around yet, only thing i did besides what i said there was add a different version of the user info block a few minutes ago, but this problem been going since last night so that had nothing to do with it.

btw thanks for trying to help!

I just noticed this myself today maybe its this $forum_admin should be like techgfx recomended if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) { or if (!defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) { which ever the case may be.

Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 10:42 pm

I dunno it wouldn't work for me this morning but tonight after I applied the fixes regarding the $forum_admin variable it seems to work fine to scan for new admins at least. No idea why this would have anything at all to do with that or if it was just a quirk this AM when I was promoting a user to admin. [ Only registered users can see links on this board!

If you have chat's lastest fixes then the NukeSentinel(tm) includes code should be changed to:

Code:

if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


    include_once("../../../includes/sentinel.php");


} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {


    include_once("../../includes/sentinel.php");


} else {


    include_once("includes/sentinel.php");


}

Hello guys.

I am still having problem with the sentinel.

When in admin panel I try to go to forum admin option I get the following error:

Warning: main(config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/eawow/public_html/includes/sentinel.php on line 46

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/eawow/public_html/includes/sentinel.php on line 46

All the files are the directories its looking at but it still doesnt work.

Any ideas?

I have seen some fixing ideas that you have posted here but I am not sure where to put that code in.

Appretiet any help.

Many thanks in advance.

If you have Chatserve's fixes implemented, do we need to implement the procedure listed in the techGFX link, THEN implement the change to Sentinel listed above?

Am not quite sure which to do- thanks for the help.

Regards,

Andy

The Santy Worm is a separate issue. Plus, Chat's fixes are only through 12/7/2004.

Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:08 am

OK,

maybe I'm being dumb here; I thought the latest set of fixes from Chat covered the issue with phpbb and upgraded it?

This is now the 4th time I've had to alter something on the site- usually due to Sentinel and incompatibility isseus- within a week. My apologies if I'm having a grips, I know I couldn't be without Sentinel; but at the same time I now need to patch again to get something to work. I'm told by one of the admin that IPTracking doesn't work again (I'll probably need to ammend eiter my header or footer- can't remember which) as well as the admin issue....

(from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
The newest version of PHP-Nuke Patched has been released, basic changes from the previous version are described here, plus BBtoNuke 2.0.11 has been added to them.

Can somebody please advise EXACTLY what I need to do to enable the admins to be able to get into forum admin? Do I need to do the TechGFX then the other stuff listed above? (Even though my bbtonuke port says 2.0.6, the link above (and a post elsewhere from chatserve) suggests that it is patched....?

Many thanks.

Andy

Nuke Patched 2.8 does have Tech's fix as does 2.9 which is now available for Nuke 7.4 through 7.6

Am at a bit of a loss here; not sure if I've missed something obvious/ done something stupid (hey, I AM a user! Wink

)

Cheers for any input.

In includes/sentinel.php find:

Code:

// Load required scripts


if ($forum_admin == 1) {


  require_once("../../../config.php");


  require_once("../../../db/db.php");


  $lang_dir = "../../../";


} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {


  require_once("../../config.php");


  require_once("../../db/db.php");


  $lang_dir = "../../";


} else {


  require_once("config.php");


  require_once("db/db.php");


  $lang_dir = "";


}

Change to:

Code:

// Load required scripts


if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


  require_once("../../../config.php");


  require_once("../../../db/db.php");


  $lang_dir = "../../../";


} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


  require_once("../../config.php");


  require_once("../../db/db.php");


  $lang_dir = "../../";


} else {


  require_once("config.php");


  require_once("db/db.php");


  $lang_dir = "";


}

and on mainfile.php find:

Code:

   if ($forum_admin == 1) {


       include_once("../../../includes/sentinel.php");


   } elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {


       include_once("../../includes/sentinel.php");


   } else {


       include_once("includes/sentinel.php");


   }

Change to:

Code:

if (defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {


   include("../../../includes/sentinel.php");


} elseif (defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {


   include("../../includes/sentinel.php");


} else {


   include("includes/sentinel.php");


}

I just thought to mention that the above excellent advice from chatserv will work if you get blank white screens too.

My drama was that I did the Nuke patched 2.9 for ver7.6, then installed NukeSentinel 2.1.3 (no problems with any of it). But I got blank white screens under admin for…

Forums (fixed it)

And Edit Admins. (didnt fix it, but will keep looking to see what I may have done wrong)

(And I read the directions honest! (Jon ducks from object's that may be thrown at him…)

I'm glad I found this site! I am extremely green to PHP and while I don't want to have to learn all of it, I still would like to be able to figure some stuff out.

So far Raven's is the best place to go for help! Honest!

I've found two fixes here EASY (and I DID look at other sites) and am going to link you at my place!

Hi,

I made the above changes to my mainfile.php and includes/sentinel.php files. But now I get the below error when trying to access Forum Admin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
